Jasmin has finished the chart for the bottom of the Anna cardigan, and now it is at the autopilot place.

Gigi has made great progress on the Polygon blanket, by TincanKnits
out of Black Trillium Fibres, Sublime DK superwash merino Gradient
kits in Coral, Tidewater and Ursa. Jasmin wants to work on it, too.

Jasmin made up an Instagram contest: #BondKnitmoreBond: Sing a snippet of a Bond song, post a spy-related picture. Make it interesting, make it fun, and remember to hashtag it!

#projectsweaterchest. This is the sweater equivalent of #operationsockdrawer. We want to encourage you to knit yourself a chest full of sweaters. This contest also has been inspired by Susan B. Anderson and her fast forward video of her top 10 sweaters.

We have lots of great prizes to give away. Feel free to double dip with any other KAL.
